on telling someone that they matter

I talk a lot about how we treat others.  I think a lot about helping people understand that they matter, that they are valued.  But how, specifically can we send a message to others that they matter?

Here are some ideas...
1.  learn their name and use it.
2.  spend a little time with them.  It doesn't have to be a long time but linger.  Deliver the ambiance that you care, because you do!
3.  look them in the eye.
4.  smile.
5.  thank them.
6.  remember their name.
7.  do something nice for them.

Also I would say that it is important to find a level of touch that is appropriate to the situation. Some folks we probably will never touch.  But others, you may find that a handshake, an arm around, a hug, a something will express that they matter.

Letting people know that you care is an integral part of Christianity.  It does not happen by accident.  May we all be more intentional about sharing God's love, one person at a time.

It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
